Suns Want To 'Pivot And Reload' Around Devin Booker

[Pickled Prunes]

Can't. Second apron says hi.

The deal works without Richards or Agbaji. They could just do that in a 2nd (wink, wink) deal.

They'd have to trade any player in a singular deal until they got below the second apron and only then would they be able to aggregate. Durant won't do it alone.

I am aware. Richards is making $5m... the deal works without him. It also works without Richards and Agbaji which (as I mentioned above) could be done in a 2nd deal. There is nothing in the CBA preventing these two teams from swapping these players, but it would require two transactions.

Richards has been decent for us and unless we're somehow getting better than him, seeing he's relatively cheap, I don't see the point unless we're dumping strictly for the purpose of dropping below so we can try to do something else to not be a greater embarrassment than we've already become.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, it sounds more like a Beal trade package than a KD package. But if PHX is taking Poeltl back in the deal they don't really need Richards.
